I went out to the warehouse and measured a thread count of 7 per inch for the Replacement Collar System for Ranch Hitch Coupler Adapter # AM3110. Please keep in mind that if you do not have a Ranch Hitch 5th-wheel-to-gooseneck coupler adapter, like part # AM3100 or part # AM3139, there is a good chance that this will not fit.

The outside diameter of the threaded collar (including the threads) is 4 inches. The inside diameter of the split collets is right about 2 inches. I have attached a photo for demonstration.
